Raw for Dessert Give-away!


Jennifer Cornbleet got wind of my making the Greek dates in her most recent book, Raw for Dessert, and has generously offered a copy to give away to a lucky reader. This book took me by surprise; I was expecting not to like it, but having tried the dates last week, I'm already planning my next raw 'baking' session!

On my list is her mince pie -- which I'm planning for Thanksgiving -- and the apple compote with golden raisins and pistachios. You can learn more about Jennifer and raw cuisine on her web site. In the meantime, to get a chance at winning the book, just leave a comment with your favorite Thanksgiving dessert. (Why do I think pumpkin pie will be the hands-down winner?)

We'll take entries through Thursday, November 12 at midnight Pacific Time. Good luck everyone!

  1. My favorite desert is the cafe gratitude version of raw pumpkin pie. So delicious. Not sure if Cornbleet's book has an equally good receipie

  2. Yes, there is a pumpkin pie recipe, made with carrots and avocado, as well as more traditional ingredients such as maple and pumpkin pie spice.

  3. I like pecan pie myself, though really any kind of pie is good!

  4. Sweet potato pie. I'm a girl from the south, and there is nothing finer. Trouble is, it is very hard to create a recipe for it. There are basic ingredients (sweet potatoes, NOT yams), butter, cream, eggs, nutmeg), basic method (beat until smooth, and bake until done). Yes, not raw, but when you get a smooth version it is absolutely heavenly.
